SUPPERS.—­In heaven, as in the world, there are suppers, 19.

SURVIVOR, 321.—­See Deceased.

SWAMMERDAM, 416.

SWANS, in the spiritual world, signify conjugial love in the lowest region of the mind, 270.

SWEDENBORG.—­He protests in truth that the memorable relations annexed to the chapters in this work are not fictions, but were truly done and seen; not seen in any state of the mind asleep, but in a state of full wakefulness, 1.  That it had pleased the Lord to manifest Himself unto him, and send him to teach the things relating to the New Church, 1.  That the interiors of his mind and spirit were opened by the Lord, and that thence it was granted him to be in the spiritual world with angels, and at the same time in the natural world with men, 1, 39, 326.  State of anxiety into which he fell when once he thought of the essence and omnipresence of God from eternity, that is, of God before the creation of the world, 328.  The angels, as well as himself, did not know the differences between spiritual and natural, because there had never before been an opportunity of comparing them together by any person’s existing at the same time in both worlds; and without such comparison and reference those differences were not ascertainable, 327.  On a certain time, as he was wandering through the streets of a great city inquiring for a lodging, he entered a house inhabited by married partners of a different religion; the angels instantly accosted him, and told him they could not on that account remain with him there, 242.  He had observed for twenty-five years continually, from an influx perceptible and sensible, that it is impossible to think analytically concerning any form of government, civil law, moral virtue, or any spiritual truth, unless the divine principle flows in from the Lord’s wisdom through the spiritual world, 419.  He declares, that having related a thousand particulars respecting departed spirits, he has never heard any one object, how can such be their lot when they are not yet risen from their sepulchres, the last judgment not being yet accomplished? 28.

SWEDES, 103, 112.

SWEETNESS.—­In heaven, the chaste love of the sex is called heavenly sweetness, 55.

SYMPATHIES.—­In the spiritual world sympathies are not only felt, but also appear in the face, the discourse, and gesture, 273.  With some married partners in the natural world, there is antipathy in internals, combined with apparent sympathy in their externals, 292.  Sympathy derives its origin from the concordance of spiritual spheres, which emanate from subjects, 171.

TABERNACLE.—­In heaven, the most ancient people dwell in tabernacles, because, whilst in the world, they lived in tabernacles, 75.  Tabernacle of their worship exactly similar to the tabernacle of which the form was showed to Moses on Mount Sinai, 75.

TABLES of wood and stone on which were the writings of the most ancient people, 77.  Tablet with this inscription, “The covenant between Jehovah and the Heavens,” 75.
